Yes please. 

Having a solution where you do not need a NextCloud
username and password would be even more helpful. (Having one password
that everybody uses to access the stream is okay, but I do not want to
be making a lot of user accounts.) 

I am also looking into some of the other options on this thread.
Finding some solution that can handle 30 simultaneous connections is
going to be key. LibrePlanet used jitsi + icecast, which might be
another option to explore.
